  • Spearheading the end-to-end architectural modernization of Shine.com, driving the platform's transformation into a high-performance, scalable solution.
  • Led the integration of AI-powered NLP services and LLM-based APIs to elevate the platform's intelligence layer—developed features such as job-candidate relevancy scoring using semantic similarity models (based on DistilBERT) for resume-JD matching, improving match accuracy by 37% and reducing irrelevant applications by 28%. Architected automated resume parsing pipelines that extracted structured insights from unstructured resumes, enabling recruiters to make faster and more informed decisions.
  • Integrated OpenAI’s ChatGPT API and custom LLM-driven prompt engineering to generate dynamic insights from candidate resumes. Additionally, implemented search phrase keyword inferencing using Transformer-based NLP models (DistilBERT) to enhance the search engine’s (Solr) understanding of candidate and recruiter intent—leading to a 42% increase in relevant search hits and significantly improving job discovery experiences.
  • Leading a cross-functional team of backend and frontend engineers to enhance system scalability, optimize database performance, and develop cutting-edge features that drive user engagement and retention.
  • Overseeing the evolution of the backend with Python Django, improving request handling, load balancing, and ensuring zero-downtime deployment for a global user base.
  • Optimizing MongoDB database schemas and queries to handle high-concurrency traffic, delivering real-time data insights and ensuring system reliability under peak loads.
  • Driving innovation through rigorous code reviews, automated testing pipelines, and CI/CD workflows, enabling rapid feature releases while maintaining codebase quality.
  • Streamlined SEO optimization processes to ensure search visibility while maintaining high-performance web applications, ensuring both speed and content discoverability.
